Penn State football lost its star quarterback at the end of the first half.
Drew Allar appeared to injure a knee while being sacked late in the second quarter and walked gingerly to the locker room ahead of his team. He came out to the field in the third quarter wearing a knee brace but did not play when the Nittany Lions took opening drive of the half.
Central York grad Beau Pribula, instead, led the No. 3 Nittany Lions (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten), who trailed the surging Wisconsin Badgers, 10-7, in Camp Randall Stadium.
The Pribula-led offense was forced to punt on its first drive without Allar.
That was before safety Jaylen Reed intercepted a Braedyn Locke pass and returned it for a touchdown midway through the third quarter for a 14-10 lead.
Allar started this game on fire, completing 10 of his first 11 passes with a touchdown. But he and the Lions slowed and struggled through the second quarter before the sack that may have ended his night.

Down, 10-7, late in the second quarter, Allar was sacked on a first-down play. He threw two incompletions after the play and then walked slowly to the sideline with his Lions about to punt.
He then gingerly walked to the locker room with a trainer moments before the first half ended.
